@EUCommission One thing I miss consistently in anything related to mental health and also safe platforms is a diversity of voices that can represent and support a diversity of identities, especially layered ones.

This applies to (young) people who are neurodivergent, belong to ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+, different ability and whatever more.
It is incredibly difficult if not near impossible for those people to find someone who actually understands them, who actually respects that things work a little different for them. This is a problem everywhere but especially outside of the cities and especially in a number of countries.

No help can be just as harmful and destructive as the wrong help.

It feels important to note that those working within the EU also lack diversity. Please use whatever diversity you do have to help inform your proposals and actions. This world does not work the same for everyone.

@EUCommission More free time and a place to sleep is what people need. But it seems that's too much. Billionaires need multiple mansions and luxury cars.

@EUCommission if you really worry about young mental health, tackle the housing crisis, the abusive contracts, the euro inflation, the young unemployment.

Of course is kinda difficult to think about this when the council and parliament are full of mid aged to straight up old people, because you don't let young people have representation, or straight up own houses and businesses.

Stop being charlatans and act for real!! Tackle the real problems!!!

@EUCommission I would also like to what safer digital spaces look like. I see there is a page on ["Learning corners: Children and youth"](https://eu-for-children.europa.eu/eu-childrens-participation-platform_en) but it does not link anything that is a "safer digital spaces" for them. Certainly no links here or anything.

To what are you reffering here?

@EUCommission

Brilliant idea, and very much appreciated.

And to all the negative, irrelevant comments in this thread: This is not about you, it's about young people struggling to find their place in life, and looking for someone to guide and support them. If that is not you, get over yourself. The world does not revolve around you. You are not the center of the universe.

@EUCommission Only for young people ?

@EUCommission I think the EU is limited in what they can do about this in Individualität countries, therefore I appreciate that hotline as a direct service for us citizens.

I just hope, you don't try to regulate the people (like limited time on social media) instead of regulating the platform (stuff like privacy, dark patterns, gambling like dynamics, promoting destructive stuff (for people and democracy), and so on)

(I assume you talk about social media)

@EUCommission i dont believe in EU anymore u just failed us
And i was trying to be respectful for the sake of Mastodons rules

@EUCommission Show that our German chancellor, who says that we are too lazy, need to work longer, are reporting ill too often and retire too soon. Who thinks that single parents working only part-time is a lifestyle choice and tries to make their lives much harder, after he happily enjoyed a vacation without even reacting to big natural disasters in the country. Or is at least preventing another disaster afterwards.

And he really can't understand, why everybody is so fed up with him.

@EUCommission well all fine and good but in the Netherlands psychological healthcare for youth and older folks has waitinglists of 6 months and more. Perhaps the Eunion should fine countries that do not provide adequate healthcare. Ou can call 113 but you wont get help unless you are acutely want to end your life

@EUCommission 🧡 indeed
merci
